for a visit or a big. dog called. whistle blower on the rahnavard snowden could be having to latin america where the leaders of three countries they're ready to grant him political asylum this after his latest lease reveal that brazil and russia have been targeted by the u.s. snooping program. idjit is rocked by deadly clashes between backer isn't opponents of the ousted leader a bomb aboard as russia's president put the warns against an escalation into all out civil war. also this week with no sign of a let up in the guantanamo bay hunger strike now in its six month prison guards are resorting to a new harsh techniques to and the standoff. this

is our teens five pm in moscow i'm marina joshing welcome to the program. now three latin american countries have said they're ready to grant asylum to adult snowden the leaders of believe eleven as well in nicaragua are offering a helping hand to the man who exposed the u.s. government's global surveillance web washington's aggressive pursuit of the whistleblower has prompted those leaders to rally around the former n.s.a. contractor arches and he said now we have more i think snowden tsonga's prices though with a latin american twist a glimmer of hope after living in limbo for weeks then as well as nicaragua and bolivia for the n.s.a. leaker asylum after the european countries rejected his official request for most of the week if snowden himself didn't know where his future would be taking him

then we certainly did and this really it was thought ecuador might be a possibility but president gray is sentiment toward snowden shifted suddenly saying their help with initial transport documents was a mistake then as well as my dural made his country's stance clear this weekend saying snowden can come and live in the land of chavez quote away from the persecution of american imperialism but only after bolivia's ever morale us was detained and denied airspace over europe for some fourteen hours while his presidential plane was searched for snowden in an exclusive interview with our team around us reacted to what bolivia called a kidnapping. and they think they can humiliate and subdue us by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making us change our policies their will make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they

want. latin america united with their condemnation social media rocketed with claims the u.s. was behind the move and europe a puppet washington remains silent they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout latin america but throughout the world already where you have powerful hegemonic totally disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries even their allies snowden's leaks help reveal how the u.s. was cold war style tapping their closest e.u. partners even when you expose the truth even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support truth so yeah it is a bit frustrating to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's happening while searching for snowden at all cost and he's now r.t.

moscow on the media have published what's said to be an official asylum request from snowden in a letter written the last sunday let's now take a look at what it says so snowden apparently says that he fear is u.s. prosecution after exposing his government's violations of the constitution and un treaties the whistleblower doesn't think he'll get a fair trial and will face life in prison or the death penalty if he returns home. brussels based political activists powerful and he says that washington is able to disregard international rules and its pursuit of snowden because of weak european leaders. these rules of international law have been told to be. shaken. by would say since one thousand nine hundred nine on. to a level that even among the western powers now there is

a situation where someone is more equal than others and the possibility of a sovereign state to adopt a decision city go to the side or protection of a certain individual. completely. is to favor the major interest of the center of the imperial system which is washington in this case the situation is not surprising it is affects europe has not been capable of emerging as a political job political power and therefore has to rely on the american leadership and capacity of intervention which it proves in europe when necessary and europe can just deny discount of support and more spying revelations are coming out and this star brazil is in the spotlight snowden has lead documents show that the country was a major target for u.s. intelligence russia china iran and pakistan are also highlighted as key data

gathering targets this after some latin american leaders lashed out of washington juries summit in bolivia or your guai accuse washington of political terrorism while venezuela's leaders said the united states actions show the stand of its control over european governments argentina's president said that the grounding of the believe in presidential plane on wednesday was a human rights violation committed by e.u. countries which usually promote meanwhile aqua doors leader rafael carette criticized washington for its colonial approach to latin america the leader of the host nation adam rouse also have plenty to say as are the spanish correspondent bruce years ago via our reports. rela said this all for it is a protest against the u.s. and some european nations speech has always been mostly anti american but now the u.s. is not alone since friends portugal italy and spain closed their ers base to believe

u.s. presidential plane europe has become the new entity also mentioned that now is the time for nineteen american countries to impose their own politics of course he was referring to the u.s. now we have clearly seen here on the streets in the past these new onto european feeling people are angry and their minds are going back to colonial times now if you put together colonial memories and is that skyjack happy so it becomes a nation can be a bomb meaning it relations between lets in america and these four european countries might be meeting a new start a new mind not be that bright so that eighteen nations trying to help the u.s. in its hunt for the very man who revealed that washington was able to listen to every word said an e.u. offices brazilian investigative journalist pepe escobar says that these developments are bringing latin american countries closer together. forget that what you what twenty four well where i was before what happened so it will bore out

that they were outraged and serious they were being spied of all in a big in strength so it isn't out over the nato headquarters in mons outside of built twenty four hours later they did what they did against every one of the leader of a small cell some american nations and now the united. against the us it just is ridiculous but that the growth of the european focus more if you're looking for the latest updates on average snowden or a missed key to velleman over the past few days we've got it all for you on our website so check it out and our timeline r.t. dot com complete with fresh updates opinions and more. edges sled back into political deadlock this week mass celebrations after the country to pose its first democratically elected leader turn into deadly clashes

between supporters and opponents of mohamed morsy a new government is slowly being formed but millions are fearful over what lies next for the country as polished leader now reports. egypt's back in the headlines but for all the wrong reasons a week of street battles mass crowds a divided country on the brink of civil war this is the street where the worst violence in cairo happened even thirty five people killed more than a thousand injured the mood is extremely tense friends family and supporters shouting crying a lot of emotion and the country's bracing itself for more u.s. issued military combat boots stand guard the newly installed all means not taking any chances if no clear government to change as well the status quo in egypt is on the brink of disaster terms going up for egypt tonight's internet the real. real

change is on the one side the millions who rallied for the ouster of the muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi they got what they wanted went on wednesday the army took over across the bridge those who want him reinstated both sides are talking war i want to say to the american states and to the wallet to the whole wallet to the west to europe be careful if you join the army there gyptian army or the head of the egyptian army to destroy the islamists that means that your turn in this country to up ways that will produce a lot of islamists i there's a strong feeling of deja vu after just a year in office the muslim brotherhood leaders have joined the predecessor imprisoned president hosni mubarak both now sitting in the same jail. america's betting on a losing horse by selling out to the islamists where is the america that calls for freedom why have they allowed this to happen does freedom mean shutting down islamic t.v. channels does it mean shutting down used papers mean i'm

a hare watch as events unfold from his balcony this cup question lives in an apartment overlooking tahrir square he says it's now each option pitted against egypt this. something that completes the first evolution. official position was incomplete but i have been. committed to retake in control of the country for more than a year and then. using that democracy in a very bad way by giving. the country to the muslim brotherhood which. the worst people to be told the country this is evidence of the and i would like you to join me in our journeys through time travel back in time travel to unravel discoveries discover evolution that made egypt and the element that made egypt an evolution of a fluid city because one of the few taking advantage of the constant turmoil he offers foreign tourists a v.i.p. with illusionary two and it includes a quick look at

a few well that mostly through the cars window and now i'm so as spoken thanks to that evolution i used to stammer and stutter and flounder now you see my speech flows like a mighty stream momus like british people but most of us are staying away while the country plummets unemployment's up and the egyptian pound is false musing it's already we can value a supporters on both sides brace for more confrontations many fear the situation will only go from bad to worse to see on t.v. . russia's president has warned that the situation in egypt could escalate into a much more severe conflict in syria because of which and syria is already engulfed in a civil war however sad it seems and egypt is moving in the same direction we wish the egyptian people can avoid this fate. while we caught up with the former half of the arab league who is now one of the top opposition figures an egyptian ahmer most

told r.t. is bill true that democracy is not just down to the ballot box. the security forces the armed forces are trying to maintain law and order in the streets going forward in a solid way that would allow the country to be. to get back on track but moments after the ouster of mohamed morsy we had reports of hundreds of missing by that officials who were arrested the president himself was put under house arrest with no communication t.v. networks were shut down people are calling this a military coup how can you defend that everybody saw millions of people pouring into the streets so. a popular uprising if not a revolution that is not enough to be a ballot box approving you and then you just sit and enjoy your life and let the people go down the drain i don't know how some people in.

a certain way of thinking believe that democracy is just the box of the ever got the majority over there has the right to do or not to do anything how can you include the muslim brotherhood and its political parties like the freedom and justice party in the political roadmap of egypt if their leaders of being arrested yes yes egypt is in. unprecedented exceptional circumstances some precautionary measures would be taken but i hope at the end it is fergus and the rule of law that would prevail. more stories coming your way after a short break here in our team coating the possible causes of a fatal plane crash in san francisco. we'll be speaking live with an airline pilot to find out what went wrong when a jet with over three hundred people on board landed short of the wrong way and burst into flames so stay with us for that if you can.

the civilized world produces more foods that it needs. well people die of hunger in other countries. millions of victims every year. where a meal is the most treasured. flood or droughts to blame. it was a bad year without a train. we couldn't plods anything. but there was great hunger. it was a good help comes too late and with no good intentions. charity diplomacy and business to. wealthy british

style it's time to. go. to the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy kinds of reports on our. welcome back you're watching our team live from moscow a dabble a crash landing at san francisco airport has killed two teenage girls and left over one hundred. eighty passengers injured the boeing seven seven seven which flew in from so came down just short of the wrong way and burst into flames it is still unknown what caused the crash but we can now talk more on the matter with airline pilots marion maddox as a matter of thank you so much for joining us here on r.t. from the information that you've gone over to this point what do you think was the

likely cause of the accident. first thank you for inviting me into at this point in time i can figure is that a cause of the crash but it is important to bear in mind it is still a really very very early and there are very few art facts or no but the picture that appears to be taking shape right now is that the runway used by the pilots was undergoing a maintenance so it's a less system and it's poppy systems now both of these are designed to says the pilot approaches or visibility and loss of wealth or however conditions appear they're going to quite favorable during the approach but something still managed to bring this plane down the certainty investigators will now have to. pursue doings of inquiry for settling the mechanical problem with the aircraft and secondly was there a problem with the aircraft and going by the crew so perhaps a measure as you said of this point investigation is going on and like you said i mean the different leads will have to be followed here but the south korean airline

as sienna has already ruled out mechanical failure would suggest it was human error what do you read into this. well a modern aircraft possess a system build a car s. which is an airborne data link and transmits messages between the aircraft and the comp so they would have seen on the occurs that there were no error transmissions on the aircraft that however in my opinion does not mean that there is a one hundred percent certainty that there was nothing wrong with the aircraft with the investigation will still look into mechanical holds notwithstanding the company state ok well here is another interesting point the airport's landing navigation system that's called the glide path was reportedly switched off during the accident so could this have been a factor in your opinion and how necessary are these systems for safe landings. well if the if the cause of the exit did determined to be a poorly executed visual approach and yes. the i was on that a little it will be

a factor which brings us back to the problem of automation complacency is a modern aircraft are very automated and companies encourage pilots to use the automation all the time or at least most of the time with some companies. wishing time flying solo that has led to a somewhat of an erosion of flying skills some of them stay working with our number of pilots again says this is the case in this accident but certainly the islets would have helped and it would have prevented would have a lot more automatic approach if they find that indeed this is been a mishandling that yes d.l.'s have helped and how will this accident affect the reputation of the plane boeing seven seven seven which is used widely around the world. well the boeing triple seven has an excellent service record it is a lot of them are most modern aircraft on are one of the best they're very comfortable what about yours in a very profitable sort of companies basically singlehandedly with the airbus three

forty out of business so in its entire history delta has a recall losses and only two of these were lost in service to british airways flight and today's crash so i don't think this should affect the. triple of his reputation but my sense that the ad has shown to be quite reliable and defend dependable aircraft right airline pilot mary matalin thank you so much for joining us here on our team to discuss the ins and thank you. well the hunger strike at guantanamo bay prison as now and it's six months with no sign of resolution guards and the u.s. military jail in cuba are resorting to new harsh tactics to force an end to the protests reportedly slamming cell doors up to three hundred times a night to keep prisoners awake as according to british inmates shakur on their sleep deprivation is allegedly linked to the upcoming ramadan fast when force

feeding will be conducted at night the detainees lawyers warned datum view of the inmates weak condition keeping them awake at night could be highly dangerous out of the one hundred six prisoners that are now refusing food forty five are being subjected to force feeding the u.s. government has to fan of the practice in the face of criticism from human rights groups r.t. is going to investigate. the u. one cost to the u.s. to stop force feeding guantanamo hunger strikers the practice is against international law and is seen by many as a form of torture and here is one thing first the guards strap the detainee down to a chair like this one then they put a mask over his face so that the detainee can't move bite or spit then the nurse snakes the feeding tube into a nasal cavity the feeding tube which is roughly the size of a pens in cartridge or this or this is not an actual feeding tube but it gives you an idea and this area is very rich in endings and patients report extreme pain

during the procedure and the nurse pushes the tube further down the throat creating a tightness that makes breathing difficult at that point patients typically feel pressure on their chest along some say it feels like they were drowning then the staff tapes the troops to the detainees nose so that they can bite or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled through the tube now we wrote to guantanamo and asked whether they use an anesthetic for this seemingly painful procedure here's the response typically not however it is available if the detainees request that most detainees prefer to use standard all of oral to lubricate through to us of us are trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here is how one of the detainees a yemeni man somewhere in r.g. all house on the bell describes what force feeding actually feels like i will never

forget the first time they passed a feeding tube up my nose i can't describe how painful it is to be force fed this way as it was thrust it made me feel like throwing up i wanted to vomit but i couldn't there was getting in my chest throat and stomach i had never experienced such pain before i would not wish this cruel punishment upon anyone we also asked the kuantan official how many detainees resist the procedure and how many give their consent to it and he will. back saying the majority of the detainees report compliantly and do not resist detainees are given a choice to eat a hot meal drink the liquid new trend or be and troll fed the detainee see the choice differently take a listen. when they come to force me into the chair if i refuse to be tied up they call the team so i have no choice either i can exercise my right to protest my detention and be beaten up or i can submit to painful force feeding for most people these detainees are out of sight out of mind as sudden as it is they see physical

suffering as the only way to draw the world's attention to their plight we can't hear their voices but here's what they write i'm doing this because i want to know my destiny i cannot abide not knowing anymore i just hope that because of the pain we are suffering the eyes of the world will once again look to guantanamo before it is too indefinite detention is the worst form of torture respect us or kill us it's your choice the u.s. must take off its mask and kill us the obama administration doesn't want inmates to die but neither is it in a rush to give the detainees their lives back in washington i'm going to check on tony how marino served in the u.s. air force for nearly two decades and conduct of more than a thousand interrogations he says the going tunnel detainees have become all kind as main recruitment targets. i still work in the middle east in and i still hear time in and time out from people there on the street that guantanamo bay represents

the idea that america is at war against muslims it's not at war against criminals who commit terrorist acts and we cannot erase what's happening in the past regardless of how well you know hard we try going to obey as i learned in iraq when we debriefed foreign fighters was al qaeda is number one recruitment tool along with the group and it will continue to be so this is you know the indefinite detention of innocent people is a great selling point for al qaeda to recruit new fighters that america is not the country that it's as it is. now look at some other stories from around the world to more people have been found dead after a train explosion and the canadian province of quebec bringing the death toll to three sixteen more are still unaccounted for after the blast which devastated the

town of. driverless train pulling some of the tankers of federal councils rolled into the town to railed and exploded leaving an inferno which completely leveled nearby buildings and environmental disaster is also feared as like crude oil is said to have spilled into a nearby river. jordan has charged radical muslim cleric abu qatada with terrorism after he was deported from the u.k. he pleaded not guilty after being immediately handed over to prosecutors on landing in amman on sunday britain fought a costly ten year legal battle to extradite him to his home country he's known as a key figure in al qaida linked to it was viewed by the u.k. as a national security threat. after the break we continue to investigate efforts to tackle mass starvation in the horn of africa due state.

as a person who lives in russia i get asked very often why automatic console fat well are americans actually fat or is this just a myth from some hater countries the centers for disease control have declared obesity to be a disease that's a twenty point nine percent of adult americans are obese and that is an all time high people blame the sedentary lifestyle as the cause yes if you were out all day at work and then all evening after driving home sure doesn't help your waistline but problems can have multiple causes and the authors of the book rich food poor food believe it could be tied to eight foods that are allowed in america but are banned in many other countries across the globe some of these chemicals and techniques and foods that are banned by some other countries are a less strong which is in many snack products which lower scale worries but kills

your body's ability to absorb minerals brought native flour which saves tons of time for the baker but beats up your internal organs and of course our good old friend synthetic growth hormones which are in livestock which have been linked to cancer big problems really have simple solutions you can run around and exercise as much as you like but if you're being pumped full of these chemicals that are illegal in much of the world well your chances of fitting into that bathing suit are ironically slim but that's just my opinion. according to the law usaid is allowed to procure up to seventy five percent american products and transport them only on american ships. and that means that the shippers have a lot of interest in food aid policy and have been incredibly effectively. lobby to

fight for the status quo of sourcing in and shipping from the united states the us government is the only government in the world that hasn't made substantial movements in the direction of enabling local procurement of food aid in developing countries in order to respond faster and more cheaply to food emergencies as they arise. so even today the food must first be balt then loaded on a ship in american harbor and then travel for several months in order to reach africa. that would be approximately four to six months from when it has been termed that we want to participate in in a particular appeal and so when the food arrives. to g.a.o. where mr alito works issued a report which presented the problem to congress.
